050: Bobbi Brown built a billion-dollar brand, then quit. Here’s why.
Leaving what’s familiar and “safe” can feel daunting to anyone…
But my guest is proof that change can be a very, VERY good thing.
On this episode of the Dr. Gundry Podcast, I chat with the famous beauty mogul-turned-wellness guru Bobbi Brown.
Bobbi recently left her namesake brand, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, after 25 years… before taking her career in a totally new direction.
Bobbi became a certified health coach and created justBOBBI, a website educating people on wellness, food, beauty, business, travel, and more.
She also launched her podcast, Long Story Short With Bobbi Brown, as well as a line of new beauty supplements.
During this episode, we discuss the challenges and rewards of reinventing yourself… and how to pursue your passion at any age (Bobbi is proof that it’s never too late!).
We also discuss the connection between health and beauty — and share some expert tips for looking your best.

Dear Dr Gundry
Thank you for this post cast. Very inspiring.
I am interested in pursuing a career as a Health Coach and your opinion about this is very important: Do you recommend studying at IIN as Bobbi did? Do you recommend another school?
Are you planning on launching your own program to certify people as Health Coaches and help spread your work this way?
Thank you so much for your time, I truly admire you.
